Blood, Tin, Straw: Poems - Sharon Olds

Descriere Blood, Tin, Straw: Poems - Sharon Olds

A new collection of intensely powerful poems by the New York State Poet Laureate and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of The Dead and the Living and The Wellspring. \nWINNER OF THE PATERSON POETRY PRIZE - A transcendent collection of poems about the ecstatic and brutal side of a woman's experience--from the Pulitzer Prize and T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry winner, called a poet for these times, a powerful woman who won't back down (San Francisco Chronicle). \n \nShe has written without embarrassment or apology, with remarkable passion and savagery and nerve, poems about family and family pathology, early erotic fascination, and sexual life inside marriage.--Amy Hempel \nSharon Olds divides this new book into five sections--Blood, Tin, Straw, Fire, and Light--each made up of fourteen poems whose dominant imagery is drawn from one of these elements. The poems are rooted in different moments of an ordinary life and weave back and forth in time. Each section suggests the progression of the making of a soul cleansed by blood, forged by fire, suffused by light. Sharon Olds transforms her subjects with an alchemist's art, using language that is alternately casual and startling, fierce and transcendent. \n \nThis is an intensely moving collection by one of our finest poets.\n
